Iyah May is an Australian alt-pop artist, medical doctor, and rising global voice known for capturing the spirit of the times with rich melodies and razor- sharp lyrics. She first gained viral attention with her viral song Karmageddon — a poetic takedown of media manipulation, celebrity idolatry and political division.

After refusing to alter her lyrics, Iyah’s management contract was withdrawn. She chose to become independent and self-funded — a bold move that only amplified her reach. Karmageddon hit #1 on iTunes Australia, reached the Top 20 globally, and charted on Spotify’s Viral 50 in five countries, including Spain (#1), Indonesia (#1), USA (#9), and UK (#6).

Shot on a $5 thrift-store camera, the video racked up over 3 million views in a month, landed in YouTube’s Top 100 Music Videos, and inspired fan covers celebrating her lyrical courage.

Her viral rise drew attention from figures such as Joe Rogan, and public support from icons like Jewel, M.I.A., Kelly Slater, Tina Arena, Paloma Faith and Ian Carroll — alongside wide-ranging media coverage, from Fox & Friends and Daily Mail to Jimmy Dore and InfoWars. As Fox & Friends put it: “The story behind it is made for a movie. Iyah is taking the world by storm.”

To Iyah, the mission is simple: speak the truth, and bring healing through art. Her new single 'Everything’s Fine' continues this mission — a deeply personal reflection wrapped in infectious hooks and lyrical irony.
